Chritmas holiday.... didn't cross my mind to ride.  But Chelan called asking if I wanted to ride on the day... and I was still fifty-fifty.  Anyways, I reluctantly agreed and immediately sms'd Faizal (whom still on leave) + Chemat (extended study leave).  Faizal replied saying he has already planned to ride PCP with "Geng Nilai" while Chemat not feeling well (so, slim chance of joining).

The RV time was 0800hrs.  I arrived 10 minutes late.  Everyone has already arrived except for Akhbar... so we waited - gave me time to do a bit of stretching - important to reduce probability of "sakit pinggang".... :)

Some "posing maut" while waiting....

 

The ride itself.... awesome!  However, I couldn't enjoy the da as I was alrady flat out even before doing the SS2 (that's the first DH section of the trail).  The SS1 (not its official name.. but as put by us Loskan) is the section from the car park, uphil then some technical descend before climbing again to the first gazebo area .. this one...

This is the uphill trail of the SS1. 

By the time we finished SS2 (many went for 2nd round), I was already almost flat out.  Was toying with the idea of riding back to the car park.. but the lure of the well-designed SS3 kept my spirit up (tho' not my energy level!.... uwaaaaaa)

The XC trail of SS2 & SS3 really battered my soul.  I was riding in total unwillingness.  Many stops (Akhbar waited for me half way) before I finally reached this gazebo.... overlooking the new DH stretch... the u-turn at this gazebo.... breath-taking!!! 

Well.. that was to be my last stretch... met up with all the guys as they 'layan' the new DH section. Me?  Couldn't bring up enuff energy level to do this awesome and fun looking track.  So I waited for the rest to have their fun.. then we headed back to the car park.

Ohh... btw, there were lots of riders that day whom came for the DH track.  And many riders whom came to do the XC (full) trail.  Met up with Nine as he analyzed the DH section... saw MatYen + Fin as well.  So many cars.. and I guess this will be the scenario at PCP in the future... prolly will become MTB enthusiast favourite ride park.

 

err... shooting myself?  :)

PCP, must repeat ni.. nak cari energy balik
